SELBYVILLE, Del. - One of the world’s most iconic rock bands gave local students a chance to shine. About 20 students from Indian River High School’s choir were invited to perform with Foreigner during the band’s sold-out concert at Freeman Arts Pavilion on Monday, Aug. 4.
The IRHS choir joined the band on stage to sing background vocals for the chart-topping ballad "I Want to Know What Love Is."
This marks the choir’s first official performance at the Freeman stage, though individual students have previously participated in events like Locals Under the Lights. The selected group began rehearsing for the appearance in May.
